Application tiled August 2, 1904. Serial No. 219,201.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known. that I, JACOB F. SIEBENTHAL,

e citizen of the United States, residing at Sen Diego, in the county ofSan Diego and State of" California, have invented a new andusefulIroning-Board, of which the following is a '1 specification.

This invention relates generally to ironingboards, and more particularlyto an improved means for supporting the board in s 5 horizontal positionfor ironing purposes and in a vertical position close to the wall whennot in use, said supporting means being attzurhed to the wall.

The invention consists in the novel fes tures of constructionhereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forniingapart of this specification, Figure 1 is aperspective view show ing the board supported in a horizontal position.Fig. 2 is a view showing the manner of supporting the board in avertical position; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional View of" theboard in a horizontal position, the other parts being shown inelevation.

In carrying out my invention I employ two upright strips A, which aresecured to the well and chair board, as shown, the lower ends of theuprights being cut away, as shown at A, to receive the chair-board.

B indicates the ironing-board, the rear end of which rests between theuprights A, ends cross-rod (I, connected to the rear end of the board bymeans of a metal .clip D, Works in the vertical recesses A produced inthe. inner faces of the uprights A, said cross-bar C heving its endsprojecting beyond the side edges of the board, as most clenrly shown inFig. 3.

E E indicate the oppositely-disposed inwardly-projecting arms attachedtothe uprights A about midway their height, the rear end of the boardbeing adapted to rest upon in a Vertical position, shown in 3 said armswhen the board is held in hori- 1 zontal position, as shown in i, endwhen the heard is turned against thewell nil heid'.

W 2.these nrrns PIGVrlli the board oiling weirdly. i F indicates the legor support, which pivotnlly connected to the bottom. of the board bymeans of thehreciiets h" and th pivot-hnil FF. hen the board is turnedup to a vertical position, the support assumes the vertical positionalso and rests upon the under farce oi' the board, most clearly shown inFig. 2.

It will thus be seen that I provide an exceedingly cheap, simple, andeilicicnt means for supporting an ironinghosrd in either a horizontalposition or a vertical position.

Having thus fully described my invention, what 1 claim as new, anddesire to secure Letteis/ Pat tent, is

1. Thecomhination with the uprights, provided with recesses on theirinner feces, oi the inwardly-projecting arms connected to said uprights,the ironing hoard having e cross-rod connected at one end by a clip, theends of said rod working in the recesses in the= upright, and thesupport pivotnlly connected to the under side of the board, for the purpose described.

2. '1 1e con'ibinntion *ith the uprights, he ing recesses in their innemidway their length, of en ironing-hoard lie-ring or 3:5 rod connected sone end of; e clip,'the e ids of said rod woi mg in the'recess in the uprights, and the inwardly-orojcicting arms on nested to said z iprights,or the purpose as scribed.
